This 300 page full color book collects the covers of over 400 zines, as well as a selection of personal photos and interviews with zine creators.

From the early fanzines covering the pioneering bands of our scene to the staples that established the classic feel of the American Hardcore Fanzine and everything in between. Presenting a visual collection of over four hundred fanzines accompanied by distinguished fanzine creators such as Al Quint – Suburban Voice,  Hud – Flipside. Kent McClard – Heartattack, Tim McMahon – Common Cause, Mike Gitter – XXX, Fred Hammer – It’s Alive, Chris Daily – Smorgasbord, Porcell – Schism, and Brett Beach – Hardware, to name a few. Cut & Paste offers a diverse range, both visually and in terms of the individuals featured, which will give the novice important insight into our scene and, at the same time, give the ones who have been along for the ride for a while a worthy trip down memory lane.
